Decorating By sweetsbydeliciosa Updated 1 May 2011 , 7:48am by JanH
I'm making a chocolate cake with buttercream icing in between the layers and then I'm covering the cake with Wilton fondant. The problem is Im going on vacations May 14 and I will be back May 22. But I have an order for the May 21. Can I make the cake and delivered 7 days before the event and tell her keep it in the refrigerator? PLEASE I NEED An ADVISE!!!!
Thank you girls!! Its hard but I will cancel the order. 
Gosh no...
Did you not know you would be on vacation before you took the order? Or are you contemplating taking the order now and wanted to check first?
No, I took the order for the 28, but she move the date of her daughter birthday party

Oh well, at least that's not your fault! - they can't very well get upset with you for cancelling the order when they're the ones who moved the date.
I agree with everyone else - a customer is not going to be happy with a cake that's been sitting around for a week, considering the flavour and buttercream.
(Now, a rich traditional fruit cake with fondant like Will and Kate's wedding cake could have been delivered weeks in advance and it'd still be fine, and would in fact improve - don't think the royal family would have been very impressed with it sitting gathering dust though
